Describes the following uses of computers in college biology laboratories: (1) to organize and analyze research data and (2) to simulate biological systems. Also being developed are computer simulations to systematically prepare students for independent investigations. (See also SE 515 092.) (LS)

Several advantages and disadvantages of using an individualized approach with low-achieving secondary students are discussed. (SD)

The adoption of the School Mathematics Project (SMP) materials by Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland is described. Some of the materials, especially work cards, have been modified for African use, and the countries intend to continue use of this program. (SD)

The strengths and weaknesses of conventional instruction are compared with those of individually prescribed instruction (IPI). The directions of future improvements in instruction are explored. (SD)

Six necessary considerations to be dealt with when planning individualized elementary school mathematics programs are described. (SD)

Teaching modules are suggested as one method of teaching Russian. Review units, vocabulary and grammar units could be constructed using computers, audiovisual aids and other teaching machines to equalize students' preparation, solve problems in weak areas and provide flexible sequences of instruction. (CHK)

Contending that college curriculum is best defined by a limited set of ideas which may serve as a useful means of structuring the association of the student and the teacher toward the end of individualized programs, the author outlines principles for use by curriculum developers. (JT)

In an experimental approach to the teaching of General Mathematics, students work individually on projects; two teachers work together with the class. Although evaluation is incomplete, the authors feel the approach has had a positive effect on student motivation. (SD)

Weekly testing coupled with a mastery performance requirement generated higher student performance in an introductory psychology class. (DE)

Station teaching can help solve problems of keeping student interest and providing individualized instruction in the junior high school language class. Students work individually on certain exercises and check their own progress at each station. (CHK)

The possibility of an optional time span for grammar systematization in second language learning is discussed, together with related difficulties in self-paced instruction. (RM)
